Memory card error, memory card locked. canon a470. Camera was working fine had taken photo's all night then switched it back on and this error message appeared, also can't transfer pics to laptop.

8GB CENTON SDHC memory card - class 4 - worked okay first day. Removed card to transfer pics to computer. Did fine. When inserted card back in camera JVC-PICSIO GC-FM2BU, got "Memory Card Error" message. Could not reformat. Still okay incomputer, so reformatted in computer. Back in camera, got same message. Tried in other cameras - got same error message. FYI, card is NOT locked!

Sounds like you forgot to use the "safely remove hardware" when you removed the card from the computer. Also, never format a card in a computer and then expect it to work in a camera. You can try to format it a few more times in the camera but if not ...

Memory card i used wallmart site to download pics, with the usb, when i was done turned the camera back on, the message i get says memory card is protected, reset switch on memory card, i have done this several times and it is still there.i can not remove it or take pics, but i can get into the review option. help.

There is a catch inside the camera that is possibly out of whack. You need to make sure the camera itself is not moving the security slider on the memory card. This would be due to puting the card in wrong or just from wear on the camera. ...

Hey.
I bought a new camera some days ago with a new Digix 4gb SDHC memory card. I went to Disney World and took normally a lot of pictures. From one moment to another, the camera gives me the message "Memory card error" and won't let me take nor view pictures. I tried removing the memory card and everything. I checked and It isn't locked or something.
Also, I tried using a memory card reader on my laptop, and it says I have to format to read the card.
I REALLY don't want to lose the pic

The first thing that may be complicating things is, can your laptop read SDHC cards, or just SD cards? If the laptop is asking you to format it, then probably it's working, but be really sure, before you continue.Check the co ...

Card error I've just gotten back from a trip. When I turned my camera on, a Card Setup screen appears and my two choices are Power Off or Format. When I pull out the memory card and put into the memory card reader in my computer, it says that the disk must be formatted before it can be used. Have I really lost all 200+ pics from my trip or is there anything I can do to save them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to use my Olympus D-460 after not using it for ~ 4 years. I downloaded the pictures from the 16 MB card using my laptop with a card reader. I then emptied the card. When I pull back the lens cover, the lens comes out but then i get an error message that the card is full. I followed the directions for formatting the card but still get a message that the card is full even though it also gives me a no picture message. i copied some of the original pictures back on to the card and can v

I downloaded my pics off my memory card to my laptop now the memory card is reading when i turn on my camera memory card is write protected what does that mean? i have a nikon coolpix s60. when the memory card is in i cant take pics or delete any!

Look at the memory card. SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. ...

The Kingston 4GB SD memory card I was using in my G7 camera gave me an error message "Memory Card Error" and "Memory Card Locked". It was working fine, then did not. How can I solve this problem and get my images back? The was plenty of room on the memory card too. I was viewing the images, then could not.

First I know you've said you've checked the card's slide switch, but just want to restate this first for others with the same problem who may not know of this switch.Check to make sure that you didn't accidentally place the tiny locking s ...

Memory card errors. I turn it on and get message MEMORY CARD ERROR PLEASE CHECK CARD. Occurs on different cards. Sometimes I can clean the contacts on the card and it will work. Sometimes, I can take pictures but if I remove the card it cannot be read if install it back or by a computer or printer. I use the camera as publicity in trade shows taking then printing pictures, so the cards are removed and inserted constantly. I have reformatted the card in the camera, still fails.

The camera switches on fine - will take a pictur/ review - but then requests that the camera bes witched off/ on- do that - screen message appears system error [o.i.s]. Happened to try the camera with out memory card [ SanDisk ultra 8GB] - works fine! - tried another cars [same model] from another camera - same problem! any ideas gratefully received

The problem is isolated when there's a memory card in the camera, is it right? Are you using a brand new memory card? What type of card is it (SD, MicroSD, MiniSD)? If it's brand new, you need to verify with the manual if the camera could ...

99 error, CF memory card was removed to download pix. put CF card back in camera, but now get error message. removed battery and card several times, including replacing with another card. still get same message. never had a problem until now.

I've been using the same memory card for a while.

I didn't change anything and can't understand why that happened. Now I can't take any pics or delete any that are on the card. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Linda W

Many people are unaware that the newer SDHC format cannot be used with most older cameras. Your camera was manufactured well before the SDHC format came out. I'm sorry, but there's no way that a 4GB SDHC card will work with your camera, it just doe ...

I have a fujifilm a235 and have tried 3 SD cards in the camera, the camera says card error to everyone of the cards. I have formatted all the cards in the camera, and the cards work ok in a different camera but cant get the camera to work.
This has happened quite a few times with the camera, has spells of working ok and then either has message, card error or read error. I sent the camera back to yourselves last year for this problem and it was returned that no fault was found.

Memory card I love my Gateway DC-T50 but the card fills up too quickly.I have a Kodak SD 256 MB memory card and want to get a bigger one.So I went and got a 2 GB and installed it , the camera screen said This card cannot be used. I took it back to the store and the clerk said it was probably too big because I have an older camera. So I exchanged it for a 1GB and it shows the same error message. My question is; what is the biggest memory card this camera can use? I have misplaced my manual, or I

Try a 512mb because your camera could be older then the 1 and 2gb memory cards can handle...or depending on where you are..you could take it to Best buy and they could tell you...hope it helped =) ...
